Fighting discrimination and harassment by employers in Northern California

All too often, employers cross the line between acceptable conduct and a violation of the law.

Handling a wide range of employment law issues

Our office sees a wide variety of workplace disputes. We often deal with cases related to:

Wrongful termination ? While there is any number of reasons an employer might fire an employee, some may be against state and federal law. Firing an employee on the basis of race, religion or gender, or on other grounds such as refusing to do a dangerous job, may be wrongful termination.

Wage and overtime laws ? California’s Department of Labor and Standards Enforcement outlines the state’s wage and overtime laws. If you are entitled to overtime pay or a higher wage than what your employer has given you, we can help you recover the appropriate compensation.

Workplace discrimination ? Prejudicial treatment of employees on the basis of gender, race or religion are forms of prohibited workplace discrimination under the law. If you believe you have received such treatment, you might have a viable claim under California and federal law.

Hostile work environments ? A hostile work environment refers to pervasive harassment based on race, religion, age, national origin or disability, or an oppressive atmosphere at a workplace. The conduct can be the result of actions by coworkers, managers or the business itself.

Sexual harassment ? Comments, suggestions, threats and other unwanted sexual advances can leave you feeling angry and fearful of retaliation, but you can fight back. Our law office protects employees from sexual harassment and fights for the compensation they deserve.

Family Medical Leave Act ? The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows parents to take up to 12 workweeks of paid leave when medical childcare issues occur.

California’s Pregnancy Disability Law ? Both the Family Medical Leave Act and California’s Family Rights Act, sometimes referred to as the Pregnancy Disability Law, allow you to take off time for certain childcare issues.

California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act ? The Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits harassment and discrimination in employment due to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and disability, among other factors.

Whistleblower laws ? Under whistleblower laws, it is illegal to retaliate against an employee who reveals an illegal or dangerous work practice to investigators or the public.

Our firm assists those who have been treated unfairly at work. We can help explain the law and how it applies in your situation.
